Destin of Smarter Every Day went down the drain in my books as soon as he published a video about Flagella, and ended it by suggesting it could be intelligent design and told viewers to read a book authored by someone who is a staunch believer of intelligent design.
Crossed the line as a science Youtuber. You don't need to be athiest to be a scientist, and he definitely isn't. But you should at least know the line.
Finding out this site is basically just a copy of something that already existed and something they knew existed just further degrades my opinion of him. Especially with it being littered with ads. The ad literally takes up half my screen.

As a publisher who relied on Adsense it’s so sad to see how Google is absolutely destroying the industry with every user hostile practice imaginable. It’s absolutely disgusting and pathetic. They are hooked on a type of crack that will ruin the product in the long run.

Jeezus h the ads ruin it

Is it really worth the potential of like $1 month if you're rockin the shit out of it, when you can host for free or basically free anywhere these days
Oh I checked whois on one of the IPs and they are using square space. I guess that's why. Gotta recoup something from inexplicably deciding to use squarespace

Not using an adblocker in 2026 AD is just asking for it

A good concept, I like it! But pleas make ads less invasive. I understand we all need to pay our bills, but that shouldn't interfere with the user experience.
Besides that, I didn't know there were so many guys in space as we speak!

Someone on HN that does not use ad block? This is still so confusing for me. Why not spend 40 seconds and never see any ads more?

Some reasons I don't use them anymore (in no specific order)
1. I have had them subtly mess with websites I am working on and I probably wasted multiple hours troubleshooting an issue that wasn't an issue
2. I have had them break a web form when I was trying to purchase something
3. I have purchased some things I like from ads and wouldn't have discovered otherwise
4. I don't frequent websites that overuse them or I can't work around them
5. I'm on a work laptop sometimes and I'm not allowed to use them for corp security reasons
6. I'm not sure I trust the ad blockers themselves, their developers, or their own app security
7. It's another process that can slow down viewing a webpage

I guess.. just like how wearing a seatbelt could end up killing you. Doesn't mean the exact opposite isn't a million times more likely.

If your website is going to be used by people with an adblocker, discovering that an adblocker unintentionally breaks your website is a feature of using one, not a bug.

Or AdGuard on a Raspberry Pi paired with Tailscale and never see ads on any machines you own again even on cellular.

Looks great with ublock origin running with default settings, fyi.
I appreciate you recognizing us as the OG. We've tracked every launch since 2009!
Who is in space, they seem like nice people, I love the Smarter Every Day crew. (They actually tried to buy my domain years ago.) Pretty lame that they're running those insane Starlink ads but it is what it is.

I feel like this post is just an AI slop copy of that site designed to grab free ad revenue.
I've flagged it and recommend others do the same.

> WHO IS IN SPACE is a project created by Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day and Geoff Barrett.
Neat. Destin has a great talk that he gave to/at NASA about Artemis a few years ago.
Chinese and Russian space suits are almost identical in the photos!

Safari on MacBook Pro sees the time text wrapping in such a way that when the time is pushed to the next line, it literally overlaps partly with the "Total Time in space" label. The time is halfway up the letters of the label.
And these are the biggest ads I've seen obscuring a webpage in a very long time!

Didn’t know humans are spending that much time in space, over a year wow! I guess they need to workout daily to keep the muscles intact?

Interesting. I don't see any ads, even with my ad blocker turned off.

Yeah warning to mobile users, too. Basically unusable website because of the ads.
I miss the ad free web.

Maybe you should create whoisinspacewithnoads.com? :D
bit grusome but would be interesting to compare known time in space against increased cancer and eyesight problems that all the astronauts seem to come back with
I believe longest time in spacewalk was 9 hours but they spent 22 hours outside the capsule during the three days on the moon
